Summary Seven kinds of suspension cell cultures from five species ofNicotiana were screened for the occurrence of nicotianamine. Nicotianamine was detected in the cultured cells ofN. megalosiphon andN. plumbaginifolia.l-[l-14C]Methionine, which is the precursor of the mugineic-acid-family phytosiderophores and nicotianamine in barley plants, was incorporated into nicotianamine by the cultured cells ofN. megalosiphon both in vivo and in vitro. The advantage of the cultured tobacco cells for the study of the biosynthesis of nicotianamine and the mugineic-acid-family phytosiderophores is discussed.
